He is a printing machinist by trade, and worked at Hull, Middlesbrough, Bournemouth, Manchester and Barrow before coming to Cambridge in March1914. Mr. Stubbs threw himself with such energy into the Labour movement locally that he was elected President of the Cambridge Trades and labour council in 1916.
He is also President of the local Typographical Association, and Vice-President of the National Federation of Women Workers. Always a great believer in the Co-operative movement, has done much to urge a closer relationship between this and the Trade Union movement, and seconded the resolution in favour of this course which was passed by the Emergency Conference in London last year.
Mr Stubbs is Chairman of the Cambridge Co-operative Education Committee and also local Editor of the “Wheatsheaf” , the Co-operative magazine.
Mr Stubbs has done useful work as a member of the Borough War Pensions Committee and of the Borough Education Juvenile Employments Committee, and has also served Labour member on the Cambs, Hunts, and Beds District Wages Committee. In recent months he devoted a great deal time organising rural workers, so that he is well known in many parts of the county.
